2. Geospatial OTI Gaming Exercise
April 15, Wednesday 6 - 9 p.m. SUB I, Room 348 (Career Library)

Want to learn more about working for the CIA? Find out what geospatial 
analysts do by joining us for a simulation of a national security crisis 
in which you'll play the role of an analyst for the evening.

Intelligence analysts and analytic methodologists at the CIA gather 
information from a variety of sources and draw on their own personal 
expertise and that of their cohorts. You and your teammates will be 
charged with analyzing an emerging problem that demands sophisticated 
geospatial methods. Your team must quickly evaluate the situation and 
advise the President on possible outcomes and a course of action.

Please note: In order to participate, you must be a U.S. citizen, have a 
cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above and have taken at least an introductory 
course in Geography or GIS. Only 30 spots are available. Register today!

5. The Obvious Interview Question Most People Screw Up Article by Andrea 
Rice on GottaMentor.com:

Why are you interested in this company? It's a seemingly simple question 
that most people hurt themselves with during an interview. How? They make 
two classic mistakes.
